I was mistaken about not having a 1984 frame. One of my touring bikes is BB0634. I would say that the 34 rules out the month/day option. Still need to check the other two old frames.

My guess is that it was the total number of frames produced of all types for that model year. Production might have been more than we might imagine. I don't have a 1984 frame but have come across several 1985 frames without specifically looking for one. By 1987 Cannondale must have been...

Brian might have the definite answer, but my guess is that it was the 606th frame made in 1984. I'll try to look at my older frames and see if they conform to that theory. The way to know for sure would be to find one with the last two digits being 32 or higher. That would rule out a date...

Johnny has the serial number translation right. That's a really nice find especially at that price. You could probably get a good share of the purchase price on eBay just for the brakes. Does the bike still have the GripShift shifters? I've had a lot of them but never a set for SunTour...

I agree. Probably can be straightened assuming the shop has the tool to check it. These hangers fit a bunch of Cannondales, so I'd guess that Wheels will keep them in stock for a long time in the future.

Wheels #16? https://wheelsmfg.com/derailleur-hanger-16.html

Thanks. I had just found them there but you beat me to it. A friend in VA said he has a few. Bells has the bag for $22 shipped. https://www.ebay.com/itm/303745538356?epid=1230171406&hash=item46b8a51934:g:oVoAAOSwq85fmxy- The Jagwire part number is DCA 072 if you want to look around.

I would be if I had a fork for it.

Different but these might do what you want. https://www.ebay.com/itm/284514383355?hash=item423e60f5fb:g:osYAAOSwyOhhggX3

I'd think that you would want the Force 40 pivots. To do without them you would probably have to run V brakes. I don't think Cannondale used them prior to 1997.

All you really need is the letter on the bar code for the year. Range for a CAAD9 would be S (2007) to V (2010) It's a sticker and they sometimes get removed. Frame looks authentic to me. Looking closer at the photos I think it is a CAAD9 as it has the increased diameter top tube at the head...

Do you have the original parts? What specifically is wrong? My guess is that the brakes were made for Cannondale by another company but I have no idea who. Perhaps you can figure it out by comparing what you have to other brakes from the same era. The only disc brake bike I have is from...

I thought that the paint looked pretty original but haven't gone back and compared the photos to what's in the catalog. Regardless I would still lean towards touching it up. There really isn't much point in a pristine restoration of a bike that's going to get ridden.

I would guess a team bike, but not one that I know anything about. Check the letter on the bar code sticker to at least be sure that it's in the model year range of the CAAD9. I paid $400+ for the last CAAD9 frameset I purchased, a pristine 2010 - last of the USA made frames.

No sign of paint in either of the 3.0 frames I checked. I'm sure both have the original paint.

I had two of my best rides last year in December. Damn cold here today though, but at least no rain or snow.

Are you saying paint inside the bottom bracket shell? I don't recall that as being normal but after checking a few handy frames I did find a 2.8 road frame with paint inside the shell. It's an obvious repaint though. I only have one more frame to check. It's a 3.0 MTB frame that I'm sure was...

Very nice. I haven't used 11 speed Shimano yet. Will be interested to hear how you like it.

As I remember, Campagnolo was first with 9 speed in 1997 but only road bike groups. Shimano was close behind with 9 speed road groups in 1998 but the MTB groups were still 8 speed.
